Place: Call for Engagement

Place: Call for Engagement

Join us via Zoom Wednesday, August 10th, at 7 pm ET

Through Kinship, we are exploring dynamic and inspiring questions that nest, overlap, and intertwine within four main themes: planet, place, persons, and partners. Join us this week as we hone in on the theme of “place” and launch a month-long call for engagement.

Place roots us in the situated, interconnected, and polyrhythmic experiences that shape who we are. The land and our bodies are entangled in a sensuous conversation. We inform place, place informs us. Here, the histories, health, and ways of being–of all beings–are deeply entwined. This week we will explore how photography help us deepen our intimacy with the natural world and the places we inhabit. And how, through practice, we can foster a sense of belonging, re-learn ways of caring, and return to kinship?.

In addition to exploring our “place” theme, we will walk you through our Kinship engagement process and introduce you to our dynamic community engagement platform where you can submit and share your own photographs.

We hope you will join us for this month-long call for engagement.

Raymond Thompson Jr.
